Hammer & Sickle Vodka (1L)

The day Russia changed forever

The October Revolution, 1917. In Petrograd, Bolshevik troops brought down the Tsar and control over the country was given to the people. Hammer – the industrial workers from the north, and Sickle – the farmers from the south. 
 
Russia's vast farmland and its people play an important role in the story of Hammer + Sickle Vodka. It's made from winter wheat, grown in the Black Earth Region, one of the most fertile corners of the Earth. It was named after chernozem, a dark and extremely rich soil.
 
Every spring the wheat crop that withstood a harsh winter is brought to Klin near Moscow, where it gets distilled and filtered six times before this essence of Russia is bottled as the Hammer + Sickle Vodka. Show some respect and drink it neat (pairing with a spoonful of caviar optional), or use it to add some serious class to your Friday night cocktail.
